Understanding 9/11Witches, midwives, & nurses : a history of women healers
Bookreader Item Preview
108 pages : 19 cm
First published by the Feminist Press in 1973, Witches, Midwives & Nurses is an essential book about the corruption of the medical establishment and its historic roots in the demonizing of women healers. With insight and originality, the authors have woven together stories about the witch hunts of the Middle Ages, the emergence of the Popular Health Movement, and an analysis of the contemporary state of medicine in relation to women's rights. In a new introduction written for this special edition, Ehrenreich and English discuss how this crucial text emerged, how much has changed, and how "for all our gains, we clearly have our work cut out for us."--Back cover
Includes bibliographical references (pages 105-108)
Introduction to the second edition: the backstory -- Introduction to the first edition -- Witchcraft and medicine in the middle ages -- Women and the rise of the American medical profession -- Conclusion
